Eeza Ugezod’s Mother Crushers. Black orc regiment of renown from the 1980’s! I’m pretty stoked to have and to have painted 25 of these guys!
A Drivable house, not to be confused with a Mobile Home, which also Shouldn’t be confused with a Trailer Home, which itself is not the same as an RV.

Here’s a commission I did for my best friend to have on her desk at work.
The context is that my best friend is a stagehand (union strong!) and people keep bringing in donuts. Trying to be health conscious, she wanted a “motivational sign” but she didn’t want normie bullshit, she wanted orcs declaring a Waaagh against cheap pastries! Or at least a sign to tap if she was feeling passive aggressive.
I have 8 of these guys, I I put them on larger bases to be played in later editions of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. One day I’ll have a full set of the original Heroquest game!
A Fimir shaman that rolled particularly well on the old Realm of Chaos mutation charts!
The finished mammoth is so good!!

Artist Adam Huenecke recently used his love for both ’80s sitcoms and tabletop wargaming as inspiration for a series of figures imagining the eponymous Golden Girls as battle-hardened warriors in the service of Warhammer 40K’s grimdark Imperium of Man. And while not the most obvious peanut butter cup-style pairing, the results are incredible.
“I’m a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas,” Huenecke said via Instagram caption on Jan. 26. “I’ve been working through this concept for years and I’m excited to finally have it accomplished.”
Speaking to Polygon, Huenecke said the crossover was a natural result of being a lifelong fan of The Golden Girls and miniature painting. His dream was helped along by a digital sculptor at tabletop company Black Site Studios, who modeled the figures’ custom heads. Black Site Studios has since made the heads available as digital models for a small fee.
“Once I had the head sculpts, I printed out a bunch of reference pictures to try to do their faces justice,” Huenecke told me through email. “I had to digitally sculpt Sophia’s purse (carried by the cherub), which I’m not very good at so it took forever. Otherwise, I had to modify the miniatures a little to fit some of the characteristics of each Girl: I made Dorothy a little taller, Sophia much shorter, etc.”
Due to the Golden Girls dressing as nuns at various points in the series, Huenecke figured Warhammer 40K’s pseudo-religious Sisters of Battle were a “natural fit,” and went about choosing models he felt matched their unique characteristics. Sophia “runs the show,” much like a senior officer known as a Cannoness, Dorothy is modeled after the discipline-focused Dogmata due to students nicknaming her “Attila the Sub” when she teaches high school, Rose’s love for telling stories about her hometown St. Olaf made her a perfect fit for the inspirational Dialogus, and Blanche became a whip-wielding Repential Superior thanks to her often-physical guidance.
“It turns out there is a considerable crossover in the fandoms,” Huenecke said when asked about the feedback he’s received. “People were happy to see the loving detail put into some of their favorite characters. The Golden Girls holds up over time; their humor is based on brilliant timing and great writing, and their values are surprisingly progressive, even by today’s standards. I think that resonates with a lot of gamers who have revisited the series. And honestly, if you aren’t a fan of the Golden Girls, you’re probably not any fun to spend several hours pushing toy soldiers around with.”
Boomers really don't like it when you remind them that the Beatles broke up more than a decade before you were born. Or that you are well into your 40s.
Don't let it stop you.

Nagash, Supreme Lord of Undeath. Even did a goblin green base!
Listen, I’ll post miniatures later. This has been my day so far and I’m not over it.
Our end times are unglamorous. I thought there was going to be horses. I’m pretty sure I was promised guys on horses.
